Arcadia Items.

Since the sale of the Arcadia House prop
| erty, everything is quiet and excitement al
| over. We suppose the railroad officials will
soon decide the future of this city. II hun.
dred thousand dollars are expended on q
new hotel and depot then other improve
ments and investments will follow until we
shall have quite little boom. But should
no money be expended by the railroad com
pany, We fear we are gone; anyhow "Gran-
ny" will again retire to the wilderness and
remain there until all these things are under
Roadway.

When the wagon. bridge between Ironton
and Arcadia was built Judge A. w. Hollo-
man wrote short article tc the REGISTER
suggesting place for other bridges, should
the people see proper to build them. He
suggested that the next bridge be built over
Marble Greek at the French Ford. Now ev-
erybody knows that Judge Holloman Is well
acquainted with all the roads and streams In
our county, and we all know that French
Ford, of Marble Greek is a dangerous place.
For these reasons L suggest that (should any
bridge be built) the first place be the one
spoken of above. Small boats must keep
near the shore, so 1 shall steer toward the
bank for fear of wandering too far out; but
would be pleased to see several of these
boats at once sail boldly into the open sea of
bridge building. GRANNY.

and attempt to keep the readers of The REG
IsTER informed of what is going on At the
